From Zurich: Mount Rigi Queen of Mountains & Lucerne Private Tour

About this activity

Experience the timeless romance of Central Switzerland on an exclusive private day tour from Zurich to Mount Rigi and historic Lucerne. Traveling in luxury private transport with a dedicated driver-guide, you’ll enjoy a seamlessly orchestrated day tailored entirely to your group's pace.

Journey to Vitznau to board Europe's first-ever cogwheel railway, ascending to the summit of Mount Rigi at 5,899 feet (1,798 m). Known as the "Queen of the Mountains," Rigi offers sweeping 360-degree views over 13 lakes and the majestic Swiss Alps.

Descend by aerial cable car to Weggis and board a scenic boat cruise across pristine Lake Lucerne. Arrive in historic Lucerne to stroll across the iconic 14th-century Chapel Bridge, admire the Water Tower, visit the poignant Lion Monument, and wander through cobblestone Old Town streets.

Includes private round-trip hotel transfers from Zurich, local driver-guide service, and complete schedule flexibility.
